概括
小麦的改良改变了产量特征,但表型的可塑性变化仍然不清楚. 这项研究揭示了小麦进化过程中的关键遗传驱动因素和主要塑性转变模式.
科学领域:
- 植物遗传学和育种
- 农业科学
- 进化生物学
背景情况:
- 小麦对全球粮食安全至关重要,在从陆地品种改进到现代品种的过程中,其特征发生了显著的改变.
- 了解小麦的表型可塑性 (对环境的反应) 在这种改善过程中如何变化是必不可少的,但尚未完全阐明.
研究的目的:
- 系统地评估整个现象的表型可塑性在小麦加入 (土地品种和品种).
- 确定影响表型可塑性的遗传位置和特定基因.
- 确定在小麦改良过程中可塑性变化的主要模式.
主要方法:
- 在10个环境中测量了406种小麦的17种农学特征.
- 通过知情搜索 (CERIS) 使用关键环境回归器来定义环境指数.
- 使用两个反应规范参数 (截面和斜率) 建模表型可塑性,并进行基因组广泛关联研究 (GWAS).
主要成果:
- 基因型和环境对特征的表型变化有着可变的贡献.
- GWAS确定了与可塑性参数相关的显著位置,包括Ppd-D1和绿色革命基因Rht-D1和Rht-B1.
- 与Rht-B1b相比,Rht-D1b对可塑性的影响更大;从陆地品种到品种中观察到的可塑性变化中,有三个主要模式占88%.
结论:
- 两个反应规范参数有效地捕捉了小麦加入的特征特异性表型可塑性.

Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

02:16Light Acquisition
8.6K
In order to produce glucose, plants need to capture sufficient light energy. Many modern plants have evolved leaves specialized for light acquisition. Leaves can be only millimeters in width or tens of meters wide, depending on the environment. Due to competition for sunlight, evolution has driven the evolution of increasingly larger leaves and taller plants, to avoid shading by their neighbors with contaminant elaboration of root architecture and mechanisms to transport water and nutrients.

02:27Background and Environment Affect Phenotype
6.7K
Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...
